Hello--
I have a question which, I suppose, is a bit naive. I'm working on a
project which involves staining, and viewing, Drosophila embryos with acridine
orange. What I need, specifically, is any information concerning viewing
stained embryos by fluorescence microscopy. Which filter set should I use (the
microscope is a Zeiss Axioplan Universal, with sets for viewing DAPI,
rhodamine, and FITC stained samples)? What other settings or parameters
should I know about? Are there any tips or tricks of the trade I should be
aware of?
Any help of any kind will be much appreciated.
Thanks, Guido
